Automatons Volumetric Grav Drive [Scriptless]

Hello Everyone! I've been spending a couple hours on this one. I bring to you the automatons volumetric grav drive! A personal technical project of mine.

*This is a conceptual design meant to show off technical pieces as opposed to being a pretty or efficient design. We've all seen gravity drives before, this is meant to show its possible to be script-less without needing a bunch of number bindings*

I call it volumetric due to it allowing 3 dimensional movement as opposed to linear and planar for straight lines or 2 dimensions respectively.

The way this works is an event controller detects the thrust% from a thruster in x direction. When it exceeds "N" amount then a set of gravity generators are turned on to boost acceleration in said direction. This is repeated 6 times, once for every movement vector

I have them organized according to keyboard controls but you can label them whatever you'd like.

For stability purposes, I have a seperate controller that turns off the artificial mass when under 1.5m/s. There is also an SAS system on board to prevent the drive from throwing you off to the side. Its effectively gyros with overide activated that are turned on or off based on your thrust% in any given direction
